Geostationary Carbon Cycle Observatory (GeoCarb) was a NASA Venture-class Earth observation mission that was designed to measure the carbon cycle. Originally intended to be mounted on a commercial geostationary communication satellite operated by SES S.A., a lack of hosting opportunities drove NASA to seek a standalone spacecraft to carry GeoCarb. GeoCarb was to be stationed over the Americas and make observations between 50° North and South latitudes. Its primary mission was to conduct observations of vegetation health and stress, as well as observe the processes that govern the carbon exchange of carbon dioxide, methane, and carbon monoxide between the land, atmosphere, and ocean.

Its primary mission was to conduct observations of vegetation health and stress, as well as observe the processes that govern the carbon exchange of carbon dioxide, methane, and carbon monoxide between the land, atmosphere, and ocean. GeoCarb was a joint collaboration between NASA's Ames Research Center, Goddard Space Flight Center, and Jet Propulsion Laboratory; the University of Oklahoma; Colorado State University; the Lockheed Martin Advanced Technology Center of Palo Alto, California; and SES Government Solutions of Reston, Florida. On 29 November 2022, NASA announced the cancellation of development of the GeoCarb mission, citing cost overruns and the availability of other options to measure and observe greenhouse gases, like the EMIT instrument on the ISS and the upcoming .

  • Geostationary Carbon Cycle Observatory plus communément désigné par son acronyme GeoCARB est une mission spatiale de l'agence spatiale américaine, la NASA, dont l'objectif est de mieux comprendre le cycle du carbone en mesurant les concentrations des principaux gaz associés au carbone (monoxyde de carbone, dioxyde de carbone, méthane) sur l'ensemble du continent américain avec une période de visite au minimum quotidienne. Il s'agit non pas d'un satellite mais d'un instrument qui sera installé à bord d'un satellite de télécommunications commercial placé sur une orbite géostationnaire au-dessus du continent américain. L'instrument devait entrer en service en 2022 avec une mission primaire d'une durée de 3 ans. Mais à la suite de difficultés techniques, de l'impossibilité de trouver un satellite pour héberger l'instrument et de problématiques de cout, la mission est annulée en novembre 2022. (fr)
